Pros

The people (but IBM managed to destroy that too).

Flexibility is second to none.

Global footprint.

Cons

Low salary.

Had my salary deducted too in my final year. You wouldn't think that would be the case, but IBM reserves the right to alter your salary. I almost considered legal action, but thought better of it and decided to just leave this toxic environment.

SoftLayer and Bluemix are no match against AWS.

Advice to Management

A change of CEO might help. How is it possible to keep reporting declining revenue and profits for at least 15 consecutive quarters and have no consequences?

Stop letting go of good people.
